My podiatrist recommended these insoles from Spenco. I have been using them ever since and they almost completely solved my issues. The only problem I still run into is that I still get some pain after about 4 miles of walking on paved roads.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

So far it's been ok, but what helped was someone on lemmy told me to run landing on my midfoot instead of the heel so that has been helping. I've adjusted my walking gait to shorter strides and that had helped to land on midfoot as well. So far, eliminated my pain.
It's also nice to wear sandals with good arch support around the house or wherever. Don't just go barefoot.
How is your footfall when you're running? I try to run with a mid foot fall rather than heel toe. Takes some gerting used to. I wear doc Martens at work. I started getting hip pain ten years ago and they're what my doctor reccomended. Havent had any issues since then. He said you don't really want anything too squishy, but that is probably not the case for foot pain.
